I broke up with my boyfriend. We’ve been dating for 5 months and within those three months I’ve been noticing some red flags 🚩🚩! I slowly started to not like him anymore and our fights started becoming a regular thing.

I broke up with him and I’ve been crying, sulking and just overall sad. I really liked/loved him and I reaaaaalllly wanted things to work out. We talked about those red flags and said he’d work on it/ change but nothing has changed. I feel and know I did the right thing by breaking up but I miss him so much.

Is this normal? I’m just so confused with myself. I don’t want to keep in contact but I really miss our friendship part of the relationship.....I don’t want to be friends with benefits because I don’t want us to get our feelings hurt but I can’t help but miss him.

Has anyone gone through something like this. I’m confused and would love advice/ guidance.
